Publisher's Summary

1946: The war may be over, but in Hollywood all hell is breaking loose. When Marie Doyle discovers that demons are seducing the young women of Hollywood, she doesn't know where to turn for help. But when a demon takes the soul of her best friend, Marie has no choice but to stop them herself.

Church secretary, war widow, and now demon slayer, Marie enters a world she never knew existed - a world not just of desperate ingénues and Hollywood scandals, but also one of ravenous monsters. The devil you know may be better than the devil you don't, but for Marie Doyle the choice might not matter.

With demons on the loose and no one else aware of the truth, her only option is to send them back to hell - even if it means risking her soul.

Tough Lady

Marie is war widow who just wants to get through her day working as a church secretary. She is still mourning the loss of her husband two years after his death. She is not looking for a good time so she almost says no when her friend Elise asks her to go to a party in the Hollywood hills. Once they get to the party, it is increasingly clear that something isn't quite right. And where has Elise gotten to? This will set Marie on a path to fighting demons and powerful men. But could it also steer her toward a fresh start?

This is set in the 40's directly after WWII was won. It was well plotted and the characters were fully developed. It kept my attention throughout and I was invested in finishing the book to know the outcome for Marie, Tom, Collin and Elise. Although there were some parts that could have been more fleshed out, especially the Father, it was entertaining and definitely a fun listen.

The narration was extremely well done with the tone of the book captured quite well by LC Kane, who gave a good performance for both male and female characters. I would definitely listen to something else by LC Kane. I did listen on 1.5 speed which is my wont.

I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom! in exchange for an honest review.
